****ing guiness book of world records:rofl: More like "guiness book of worthless **** with a few interesting records"
Sure it's not flat ground, but Dave Voelker's long ass manual in the film "Lord Voelker" is miles long down some hill near san diego at 40+ mph. Edwin de la rosa did the whole...
Bern's "hard hat" is the best brain bucket around. The biggest problem with helmets currently is federal law mandating a single use foam based on old research. Bern "hard hats" not only work impact after impact, they fit better, and my head hurts less after an impact. Compared to a single use...
I own an '08 and love it, about the only bike I'd sell it for is a carbon version. Chris recommended the Elka when I talked with him, but that was 3 years ago...DHX's are awesome, I rode a friends jedi with a DHX tuned by fox for him(he weighs the same) and it was super smooth. Apparently the...
Yeah, they don't have the M6 specs online. Their customer service is actually pretty bad from what I've experienced, it took nearly a year to get a part drawing for the Moto to put into our CAD model.
I can't find the info online anywhere, I'm pretty sure the larger pistons are 16mm like the M4 but what are the smaller ones? 12mm? Also if anyone has a set of pads and could give me the material dimensions that would be awesome. This is all for a super light race car project, currently we're...
A german friend of mine mentioned these were coming to europe in the next year or two. 2l/100km consumption, 17,000euro.

They are all different, but in the scope of things ours is a completely different concept. Most are large, lots of power 80-90 hp, and aero dynamic wings or undertrays. Ours is very light(lightest at the european comps), low power, fuel efficient, no aero, and small. In most racing series the...
It was a great trip. About 6pm the day before we had to return the rental car we came across another bike park, at the foot of the Alps, with 5x more elevation and 60km from where we were staying instead of 600km. Next year we're definitely going there and from what the people I met at...
What school? Most likely the car we built, and will do again, is very different from the on your school will do. Most cars, especially in the states, are 4 cylinder, steel tube frame, 13" wheels, and 200-240 Kilograms.
Quick overview
147 kilograms (323lbs) with all fluids and a full tank (5...
I'm going to school for civil engineering and many schools with established engineering programs also have a Formula or Baja SAE programs. I joined the formula SAE program this year and it has been nothing but fun, more work than a job, but much more opportunities for fun as well, it also...
Volvo 240's kick ass, once I get some $$$ I'm definitely doing some shopping at IPD and buying a wrecked 740 turbo for the turbo conversion parts(for some reason that is cheaper than getting the parts from a junk yard out here).
It's hardly rotational weight. Look at the center of mass of portions of the hub(assume it's not circular, so you can have a lever arm), even if you dissect the hub the only part of it which would make even the slightest difference in acceleration by being lighter is the flanges and outer...
I am positive, Santa Cruz has been specing the wtb super duty wheelset on the VP free since it came out in 2004, with that hub. I say it's negligible because there is limit to how light things can be before they are too light. I say it isn't significant because, (a) you couldn't remove 20% from...
